I think the dress-up thing is very silly, especially posting dogs for shipping. I like the bows, but the clothing is a bit over the line.

I don't have a problem with seeing a lot of undressed pics of the dog, as long as the dog itself is shown from multiple angles with no clothing (bows aside).

They're all cute. All Yorkies are cute. As far as people putting them in a cup to advertise them, they're either very small, not ready to go to forever home dogs, or they're a teenyist, tinyest Yorkie that is nowhere near standard and is prone to health problems.

It's very sad that people want the tiny (teacup) Yorkies, not realizing that they can have a myriad of problems that the breed standard weights don't tend to.

I have one that I thought would get a little bigger, but she grew to an even three pounds. Right now, she's our alpha, and rules the house despite the fact the other dogs are bigger than she is. I worry all the time that she's going to have problems later in life.
